The sound of the suona became more and more cheerful and joyful, and many other crisp sounds also appeared.
A picture of hundreds of birds singing and dancing together gradually emerged clearly in everyone's ears...
The 100,000 people at the scene remained extremely quiet, their eyes fixed on the figures on the stage, on the clear close-ups on the big screen, their ears pricked up.
Sisters Xu Wenwen and Xu Xiaoxiao were also present at the event, but their seats were further back, so if you wanted to see them clearly you could only watch the close-ups on the big screen.
Xu Xiaoxiao stared at Wang Qian and said, "Professor Wang's suona skills are absolutely the best in the country. I have listened to several domestic suona masters, but none of them are as good as Professor Wang. Of course, maybe it's because this piece of music is better."
Xu Wenwen asked curiously, "Is this a song he composed himself?"
Xu Xiaoxiao nodded as a matter of course and said, "Of course, is there any need to say that? I have never heard this piece of music before. It is very difficult, although I don't know much about suona. But with my level, I can see and hear that Professor Wang has used at least five or six difficult suona playing techniques. Some of the other playing techniques are not simple at first glance, and they must be very impressive."
Xu Wenwen stared at Wang Qian and exclaimed: "Professor Wang is truly an amazing person!"
Xu Wenwen is not an ignorant passerby. Her family can be considered a literary family. She knows that it is impossible to learn the suona instrument to this level by herself.
Among those suona masters, which one of them didn’t play for a lifetime to reach his current level
How old is Wang Qiancai
Only thirty years old!
He had no teacher and was self-taught. He also learned many other musical instruments and reached the level of world-class masters.
Others studying for their entire lives are not as good as him who just learns by himself.
Sometimes, the gap between a genius and a top genius is more exaggerated than the gap between an ordinary person and a genius.
Xu Wenwen feels that Wang Qian is truly a god-like existence both in the fields of music and literature.
…
Adam sat on the sofa in the lounge, looking at Wang Qian in the picture in a daze. Listening to this instrumental music which he heard for the first time, he felt a little weird and shocked.
Only then did he feel more clearly the gap between himself and Wang Qian!
Even though it was his first time hearing this kind of suona performance, he could clearly hear what Wang Qian was expressing in it, and even if he listened carefully, he could see the pictures.
He knew that this level of performance on the piano would be unquestionably at the world's top master level.
"hehe… "
Thinking that he had always regarded Wang Qian as his opponent, Adam smiled self-deprecatingly again, and once again felt that he was really ignorant and fearless in the past.
However, he thought that he would not be able to continue working with Wang Qian on the same stage.
Adam also felt a little regretful.
He knew that although he lost on the world stage, he failed to live up to the expectations and support of almost all North American audiences.
However, he believes that this relatively unsuccessful performance experience may become one of the highlights of his life.
because…
He has performed on the same stage with Wang Qian.
Many years later, there will surely be many people who will remember him for this.
Defeat Wang Qian
Adam shook his head again, and once again suppressed the idea that had just popped up in his mind in the past two days.
That's impossible.
…
Sophie was actually more shocked than Adam and the others.
Because her music appreciation, comprehension, and aesthetic abilities are definitely far superior to those of Adam and others, and perhaps even superior to her father Marlon.
Sophie stared at Wang Qian with her eyes, and gently raised her index finger beside her ear and shook it, as if she was keeping the rhythm with the sound of Wang Qian's suona. At the same time, the scene of hundreds of birds singing and paying homage to the king of birds in the middle emerged more clearly in her mind.
It is extremely lively and festive, making this song very popular.
"His musical art has reached the realm where the most vulgar is the most elegant."
Sophie exclaimed in her heart and looked at Wang Qian with even more admiration.
In recent days, because of the absurd things she did with Jennifer, the slight resentment in her heart disappeared without a trace at this moment.
For a man like this!
What to pay.
She is willing to do all of them.
Even if it's only one life.
As long as it’s for Wang Qian.
She was also willing to give it away immediately.
…
Wang Qian's performance has come to an end.
but.
Inside the auditorium of the Central Conservatory of Music, Mr. Liu and his companions stood up as usual, without saying a word. They stared at the figures on the screen with seriousness, and pricked up their ears to listen to the lively and festive music.
In the midst of a lively climax scene.
The suona sound stopped.
It seemed to indicate that the good life did not end there.
On the TV screen.
Wang Qian slowly put down his hands that were holding the suona, his face still a little flushed.
He gave it his all this time, without holding back on his lung capacity. He swept his eyes across the silent crowd of 100,000 people and said softly, "Thank you, everyone. This suona piece is called Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix."
The 100,000 people at the scene gradually came to their senses, and then burst into warm applause.
Inside the auditorium of the Central Conservatory of Music, everyone stood up and applauded. Even though they were separated from Wang Qian by the Pacific Ocean, their applause was just as loud, and everyone clapped with all their might.
The vice president next to He Chaohui said: "Professor Wang has made the suona shine internationally this time. It's amazing, amazing... This piece of music is very nice and looks very difficult."
He Chaohui nodded, looked at Mr. Liu beside him, and asked, "Mr. Liu, what do you think of Professor Wang's performance?"
Mr. Liu also came to his senses. He clapped his hands and said, "Evaluation? I dare not evaluate. I can only talk about my feelings."
Everyone around pricked up their ears and listened to what Mr. Liu said.
He is one of the oldest masters in the field of suona in China. He has performed three times on CCTV Spring Festival Gala. He is a national treasure-level master of folk music and has a very high status in the Central Conservatory of Music.
Therefore, when Mr. Liu said that he did not dare to comment on Wang Qian's performance, it was actually the highest evaluation.
With his qualifications and strength, if he doesn't dare to comment, then who else dares to comment on Wang Qian
but…
They knew that this was just a statement. Wasn't Mr. Liu's feelings an evaluation
While clapping, Mr. Liu stared at Wang Qian's extremely young face on the TV screen and said seriously, "Professor Wang's suona attainments are definitely better than mine."
This opening tone made everyone around who heard it open their eyes wide.
Is your suona level better than Mr. Liu’s
There is no one like him in the whole country. At most, there are only one or two people who can be compared with him and are listed as national treasure-level folk music masters.
How could Wang Qian be better than Mr. Liu
There was a hint of shock in the eyes of several masters and leaders of the Central Conservatory of Music.
He Chaohui asked: "Mr. Liu, how about this piece of music?"
Professor Liu continued, "This piece of music, Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix, composed by Professor Wang, is the most expressive suona piece I have ever heard. It uses almost all the suona playing techniques that I know and can play."
"Tongue, glissando, tongue flourishes, finger flourishes, trills, we have them all!"
"Also, swallowing, spitting, padding, hitting, smearing, pressing, etc. are all included."
“Tongue-thrusting sound, air-thrusting sound, rebounding sound, reverse double-thrusting sound, continuous-twanging sound, air-lip trill, finger-air trill…”
"All the suona playing techniques are integrated into one, and perfectly expressed in one piece of music. The meaning of the music is so profound, and the expression method is so popular."
"This can be said to be the perfect realm of suona art. I am not a literary scholar, so I can't find any words to describe it, but perfection is the best description I can think of."
"There are only a few people in the country who can play this piece of music."
Mr. Liu’s words made He Chaohui and others open their eyes wide.
We have a clearer understanding of the extraordinary attainments and strength that Wang Qian demonstrated in this suona piece. It is no exaggeration to say that he is the number one suona player in China.
One song, one performance!
He immediately became the number one suona player.
This is also something that has never appeared in the history of folk music.
He Chaohui was also applauding while thinking about how to keep Wang Qian in the Central Conservatory of Music forever.
And Mr. Liu continued, "Director He, Professor Wang will be returning to China in a few days. He should come to the Central Conservatory of Music, right? I hope to meet him by then and persuade him to talk about this song "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" in detail in class. This is very important to our entire folk music!"
He Chaohui thought about it and couldn't help feeling worried.
I am worried that it will be too much of a burden for Wang Qian to come to CAFA.
There is the violin piece Liang Zhu.
Now the Central Conservatory of Music and several other domestic music conservatories have selected a group of outstanding teachers and students, and are studying this piece of music, waiting for Wang Qian to return and perform with him.
There is also the Guzheng piece Storm, which is also a piece that the Department of Traditional Chinese Music requires students to listen to, because this piece also contains many playing techniques pioneered by Wang Qian. It is definitely a groundbreaking work in the field of Guzheng, and its explanation at the Central Conservatory of Music has extraordinary significance. Many Guzheng masters in China will come to listen to the class.
Now let’s listen to another suona piece, “Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix”, which is also a groundbreaking piece, a piece of epoch-making significance, and something that all suona masters want to hear…
this!
Each piece of music is enough for many master music artists to talk about for several years, or even to open a course on.
but.
Now Wang Qian has to finish the lecture in one class.
This task is too heavy!
Will it cause Wang Qian to be disgusted
Then you also feel disgusted with central music
He Chaohui couldn't help but think of more.
Seeing He Chaohui in a daze, Elder Liu thought that He Chaohui was in trouble, so he said in a louder voice: "Director He, I will persuade Professor Wang when the time comes..."
He Chaohui said hurriedly: "Mr. Liu, I will talk to Professor Wang, don't worry."
Just as Mr. Liu was about to speak, the phone in his pocket began to buzz. He took it out and looked at it, his eyes gleaming as he said, "It's Mr. Zhang calling. I won't answer."
He Chaohui asked curiously, "Mr. Zhang?"
The only person who could be called Lao Zhang by Mr. Liu could be another national treasure-level suona and folk music master, Mr. Zhang.
And now Wang Qian called right after his performance, obviously to talk to Mr. Liu about Wang Qian and this song.
Mr. Liu nodded, stopped talking, and just stared at the TV screen.
In the picture.
Jennifer had quickly walked onto the stage and stood next to Wang Qian. She was wearing a blue cheongsam, which complemented Wang Qian's Tang suit, as if it had become the stage for the Spring Festival Gala.
However, Jennifer looked extremely exotic in her cheongsam, shining brightly across the world under the lights, and everyone who saw her was a little amazed.
Approaching Wang Qian, Jennifer habitually gave Wang Qian another warm hug, hugged Wang Qian with all her strength, and smiled in Wang Qian's ear and said: "You are so handsome..."
Wang Qian smiled faintly.
Jennifer let go of Wang Qian, took the microphone, and shouted to the audience: "Does this suona piece sound good?"
The audience burst into applause again, and everyone answered Jennifer's question with warm applause.
Jennifer turned to Wang Qian, her eyes full of emotion, staring at Wang Qian and asked softly, "Professor Wang Qian, how did you come up with the idea of using this instrument for live performances? Aren't you afraid that no one will understand? I think many people are seeing and hearing this instrument for the first time."
Audiences all over the world were staring at Wang Qian, waiting for his answer.
In particular, many professionals in the music field are looking forward to Wang Qian's answer, wanting to know why Wang Qian is so confident
Wang Qian said calmly, "Suona is a very distinctive Chinese musical instrument. It is very down-to-earth, so I like it very much and have studied it for a while. I believe that I can impress everyone with my music. In fact, the essence of music is not the instrument. The instrument is just a way of conveying it. The essence of music is the transmission of emotions. I can convey emotions clearly to everyone, which means that everyone understands it."
"As for what instrument it is or what sound it makes, I don't think it matters!"
"The important thing is that you all understand."
Wang Qian's words caused the audience to burst into warm applause again.
All musicians, whether they are professionals in classical or pop music, have a feeling of sudden enlightenment, as if they suddenly understood something very profound, but when they think about it carefully, it seems that nothing happened.
However, when every music professional thinks carefully about his or her own music, it suddenly becomes much simpler and clearer.
Almost all music professionals around the world look up to Wang Qian in awe, as if they were looking at a great man.
Jennifer's eyes were full of admiration, and she asked again, "So, Professor Wang Qian, did you also teach yourself how to play the suona?"
Wang Qian nodded: "Yes, it's just a hobby."
All right!
The applause from the audience gradually died down, and every knowledgeable musician or music critic smiled bitterly.
really.
Others may just do it casually, but this is the goal that many masters strive for their whole lives.
Self-taught…
Just a hobby.
Many suona masters in China shook their heads and smiled bitterly, but they could not muster any anger or the desire to refute.
Because, with a little calculation, they would know that Wang Qian could not have spent much time on the suona.
Otherwise, how would Wang Qian have the time to go to school, open a hot pot restaurant, learn piano, singing, guzheng, pipa, and violin
In comparison…
Suona is really just a hobby of Wang Qian, and Wang Qian definitely doesn't spend much time on it.
It’s just that this hobby has already surpassed that of the top suona masters in the country.
Jennifer asked again, "You just said that you agreed to perform two more shows tonight, and there will be a piano performance and a song singing later, right?"
Facing the 100,000 pairs of excited and expectant eyes in the audience, Wang Qian said affirmatively: "Yes..."
There was warm applause from the audience.
All the audience who paid high prices for tickets felt that they had made a good deal.
I was able to watch three performances of Wang Qian at once!
All the TV viewers around the world were also excited.
There was an instant buzz of discussion on social media platforms in various countries, with people discussing Wang Qian’s three performances tonight.
Jennifer was very familiar with the show's effects, so she asked, "Professor Wang Qian, can you reveal some details about the next two performances? I think a lot of people will be interested, and I'm also very curious."
Wang Qian smiled and said, "Time flies, you will know it later."
